00:00We are going ahead with our weekly sale this Wednesday, mainly due to some numbers that we had
00:06came to hand on Sunday. So we've got about 600 head to go through tomorrow but it's been very
00:12wet here overnight and all day today. There's probably about 110 millimetres to date so we'll
00:18go after a few off that we've got on hand this afternoon. We are going ahead just with a very
00:23reduced yarding at what was looking to be quite a big yarding. We had over a thousand head coming
00:28from one place so we've probably gone from a 4,000 head sale back to 500 head with this rain
00:34but it's been lovely to see. It will only be good for the ongoing market going forward in the next
00:40few months.
